Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Greet without physical contact. Maintain a distance of about six feet with the person.
2. Maintain a distance of six feet in public places, such as bus-stands.
3. Wear reusable handmade face masks at all times.
4. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
5. Cover your nose and mouth while coughing and sneezing.
6. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based sanitiser.
7. Do not chew tobacco and spit in public places.
8. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
9. Avoid unnecessary travel.
10. Do not discriminate against people affected by COVID-19, their caregivers or anyone supporting the fight against COVID-19.
